If you’re a little unsure about which stars are most likely to bring home a coveted Oscar and you’re looking for a bit of expert assistance, then consider your Oscar ticket punched! I’ve got some expert Oscars betting picks on the four biggest Oscar awards there are. Now, let’s get down to business.

To Win Best Picture

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri: -170

The Shape of Water: +150

Lady Bird: +1400

Dunkirk: +4500

Get Out: +1800

The Post: +10000

Call Me by Your Name: +8000

Darkest Hour: +20000

Phantom Thread +15000

“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” is now the favorite to win what will definitely be the closest Oscar race this year. Apparently, Three Billboards and Shape of Water are in a virtual tie among movie experts, with getting out definitely finishing third. The surge by “Three Billboards” has come at just the right time as final Oscar voting ended on Feb. 27. I’m going to say, back Three Billboards as the favorite, seeing as how the film won both Best Picture and Best British Film at the 2018 BAFTAs (British Academy Film Awards) which is a good indication of what will transpire at the Academy Awards.

Oscars Betting Pick: Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

To Win Best Director

Guillermo del Toro (The Shape of Water): -2000

Christopher Nolan (Dunkirk): +750

Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird): +2000

Jordan Peele (Get Out): +5000

Paul Thomas Anderson (Phantom Thread): +7500

Analysis: Guillermo del Toro won the best director at the BAFTAs and he’ll win the Academy Award as well, although he’s ‘come back to the pack’ ever so slightly in the minds of American voters.

Oscars Betting Pick: Guillermo del Toro.

To Win Best Actor

Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour): -3500

Timothee Chalamet (Call Me by Your Name): +2200

Daniel Kaluuya (Get Out): +2200

Daniel Day-Lewis (Phantom Thread): +2500

Denzel Washington (Roman J Israel Esq.): +3500

Analysis: Gary Oldman won the vote for Best Actor from every BAFTA voter and is likely to sweep the award at the Academy Awards as well. Even if one or two voters do decide to go against the grain with their picks for Best Actor, there’s absolutely no way that Oldman fails to win what is essentially a virtual lock selection here!

Oscars Betting Pick: Gary Oldman.

To Win Best Actress

Frances McDormand (3 Billboards): -3000

Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird): +1200

Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water): +1600

Margot Robbie (I Tonya): +3000

Meryl Streep (The Post): +6600

Analysis: Frances McDormand won Best Actress at the BAFTAs and she’s a landslide to repeat at the Academy Awards in a race that is just as much of a lock as the odds indicate.
